What is a good, light material for sculpting a garden statue?
I'm making a six foot tall garden statue for my sister's garden, and, since it's my first time sculpting on this scale, I was wondering if anyone knew of a good, lightweight, durable material that I could cast/sculpt the statue out of?
(It will be a statue of an angel with pipes running through the tearducts to simulate crying.)
Fired ceramic clay. Which will have to be hollow in order to be fired in a kiln would allow for whatever plumbing that you plan to include. Cement would work as well. But both of these materials will be problematic both in weight and size. You might want to scale down your plans. Six foot tall is a pretty hefty undertaking even if you have the facilities and equipment to produce a work of this dimension . Fiberglas is lightweight but would be an involved process.
